Alibi Agency Honored as Finalist for the Good Samaritan Award 2023
In March 2024, a quiet but meaningful revolution took place in Dubai.
At the World Police Summit, under the esteemed patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Alibi Agency was announced as a finalist for the Good Samaritan Award 2023 — an accolade that stunned even those within our own ranks.
This summit, often referred to as the Davos of Global Law Enforcement, welcomed over 138 nations, representing high-level police officers, public safety experts, tech innovators, and strategic thinkers in security.
Amid that powerful gathering, a professional alibi service was named one of the world’s most ethical and impactful service providers.
This wasn’t just an event. It was a message to the world: Privacy, freedom, and discretion have a legitimate place in public good.
What the Good Samaritan Award Stands For
The Good Samaritan Award, presented annually at the World Police Summit (WPS), honors individuals or organizations whose actions have made an extraordinary impact on human safety, dignity, and cooperation — even when their methods are unconventional.
The award recognizes courage, initiative, integrity, responsibility, and the ability to protect without seeking reward.
Being named a finalist in such a context confirmed something we’ve known for over two decades.
A Quiet Operation in the Spotlight
For years, the Alibi Agency operated beneath the radar of public institutions. We did not seek recognition.
Our focus was simple: discreet, professional alibi services that allowed people to live safer, freer lives — often when every other door had closed.
That changed when we received the unexpected nomination from our U.S. Managing Director, Tom Kaules, who submitted our agency as a candidate for the Good Samaritan Award.
It was a bold move — and one that paid off.
Shortly after, we learned we had not only been accepted into consideration — we were shortlisted.
Then, we were officially invited to attend the awards ceremony in Dubai.
And then came the announcement: We were among the top three finalists in the world.
Why a Professional Alibi Service Was Recognized
To understand this moment, one must understand what we do — and what we do not do.
We are not fraudsters. We do not forge documents for criminal purposes. We do not offer cover for criminal behavior.
Instead, we offer freedom and safety in highly sensitive, deeply human situations.
We’ve helped:
- women escape violent partners under believable travel cover stories
- professionals protect their careers by masking mental health retreats
- closeted individuals live without fear in societies where identity can be dangerous
- single parents explain gaps in resumes or missed court dates without shame
- stalker victims sever digital trails with identity camouflage
- abused spouses exit relationships without confrontation or exposure
- people in recovery protect their healing process from invasive questions
This is not deception for its own sake.
This is emotional security, operational privacy, and trauma-informed support — done legally, confidentially, and respectfully.
The Moment of Recognition
At the official ceremony of the World Police Summit 2024, our agency was introduced with a statement that surprised many:
“In an age of digital exposure, emotional surveillance, and increasing social pressure,
the Alibi Agency offers not lies — but a shield.
A structured, legal, and deeply human form of protection.”
— WPS Board Member, Dubai 2024
We shared second place alongside a nonprofit focused on conflict mediation in Sub-Saharan Africa.
First place went to Dr. Bikash Sah of the B. P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences in Nepal, who was honored for lifesaving rural outreach during medical emergencies.
We applaud his extraordinary work and are honored to stand beside him.
Stefan Eiben’s Reaction
“When I founded this agency in 1999, I never imagined this.
I just wanted to help my friends enjoy one honest night out without having to lie to their girlfriends.
And now, 25 years later, we’re being recognized as an ethical force in global security.”
— Stefan Eiben, Founder of Alibi Agency
The Alibi Network: Quiet Power Across Continents
Our success is not ours alone.
Behind every believable alibi stands a team of professionals, a global network, and a logistical masterpiece:
- Over 2,700 vetted freelancers
- Over 500 trusted partner companies (event venues, tech support, couriers, image agencies)
- Discreet actors, travel experts, privacy strategists, and digital architects
- Offices in Germany, USA, Spain, and operations in over 40 countries
And the one-of-a-kind engine behind it all: the Alibi Network.
Without this structure, our service would be impossible.
With it, we make the impossible feel safe — and the unbearable feel manageable.
Our Ethical Standards
Contrary to misconceptions, our agency does not operate in a legal gray zone.
We have strict internal boundaries:
- No support for criminal alibis (e.g., for trials, police investigations, or court proceedings)
- No manipulation of legal institutions or falsified medical documents
- 100% legal, plausibly verifiable, and designed for privacy — not deception
In fact, many of our partner companies are run by former clients, who’ve experienced our support firsthand and now help others regain their freedom.
We believe that helping someone build a narrative is not inherently wrong — if the goal is peace, not harm.
Behind the Nomination: The Role of Tom Kaules
The nomination was led by Tom Kaules, who has been instrumental in shaping the agency’s U.S. presence and digital infrastructure.
Tom is not just a strategist — he’s a visionary.
Under his leadership, the agency expanded:
- encrypted client communication
- data sovereignty in line with U.S. and EU standards
- custom-built alibi workflows for complex cases (e.g., high-profile clients, multi-continent coordination)
He helped position the Alibi Network as a reliable support structure, not just a concept.
We thank him for his drive, trust, and public representation at the summit.
A New Understanding of Public Safety
The World Police Summit was not just a conference.
It was an ideological shift.
For the first time, a professional alibi service was recognized not as a risk — but as a response:
- to social tension
- to emotional repression
- to digital overexposure
- and to the growing inability of people to live freely, without judgment
In this context, the Good Samaritan Award was more than a trophy.
It was a permission slip — for individuals to seek protection, and for professionals like us to offer it.
Looking Forward
This award does not mark the end of our journey.
It marks a new beginning.
We are now working on:
- expanding the Alibi Network to underserved regions and vulnerable populations
- developing even safer encrypted communication methods
- AI-enhanced plausibility testing for complex cover stories
- emergency alibi support (within 60 minutes) for clients in immediate distress
- and a discreet support fund for clients unable to afford protection, but in clear emotional danger
Our mission has always been to protect lives from unnecessary pain.
Now, we do so with even greater resolve.
Final Words to Our Clients
To those considering our services:
You are not alone.
You are not unethical.
You are not weak for needing protection.
You are navigating a complex world, and we are here to help — with no judgment, and with professional discretion backed by global recognition.
Let us show you what’s possible.
More Than a Summit – A Global Alliance for Safety and Human Dignity
The World Police Summit (WPS) is not just a high-profile event hosted in a luxurious venue in Dubai.
It is a critical global initiative designed to foster cooperation across borders in the face of escalating threats: organized crime, terrorism, cyber-attacks, and social unrest.
Held under the guidance of the World Police Organization (WPO), the summit unites policymakers, security think tanks, frontline law enforcement, NGOs, and — for the first time — representatives from the private trust and privacy sector like the Alibi Agency.
Through lectures, roundtables, live case simulations, and strategy labs, the WPS is setting the tone for the future of public safety — one that acknowledges the psychological, digital, and emotional layers of modern security.
The presence of a professional alibi service in this arena was nothing short of groundbreaking.
It sent a powerful signal:
Privacy protection is not the enemy of justice — it is part of it.
The Founder Behind the Mission: Stefan Eiben
Stefan Eiben, the German founder of the Alibi Agency, never planned to build a global support network.
In fact, the first “alibi” he ever arranged was almost accidental — a playful solution for two close friends whose partners had forbidden them to join a night out. But what began as a lighthearted workaround sparked a revelation: millions of people face emotional and social constraints every day that rob them of autonomy, dignity, and sometimes even safety.
Instead of judging or moralizing, Stefan decided to help.
With a degree in computer science, he built the first alibi website in 1999. Within weeks, emails were pouring in — from women, men, professionals, students, survivors, dreamers, and seekers of freedom.
Today, Stefan leads the agency with empathy, discipline, and sharp legal awareness, building a framework that supports:
- authentic human needs
- legal compliance in complex jurisdictions
- emotional safety in hostile environments
- and a network of truth-protectors, not just service providers
“We do not break the law.
We break the silence that so many people are forced to live in.”
— Stefan Eiben
About the Alibi Agency: Who We Are and What We Do
The Alibi Agency is not just a provider of believable stories.
We are a professional alibi service grounded in ethics, logistics, and empathy.
With over two decades of experience, our work touches every area of modern life:
- Relationships & private life
- Business & career
- Travel & public appearances
- Privacy & reputation
- Identity protection & emotional recovery
We offer everything from scripted phone calls, fake work events, travel confirmations, invitation letters, staged photos and videos to fully customized multi-day scenarios supported by trained actors, rented venues, and even fake social media timelines.
All of this is backed by:
- Full documentation (e.g. receipts, invoices, tickets)
- Live interactions with third parties (when required)
- Multi-channel coordination (WhatsApp, email, post, courier)
- Tailored alibi coaching for clients under pressure
- Legal filtering to ensure all actions comply with national law
And we never reuse alibis.
Every scenario is custom-made, tailored to the client’s background, and kept fully confidential.
What Makes Our Work So Complex — and So Vital
Helping someone avoid being caught in a lie is easy.
Preventing them from needing to lie in the first place is harder.
What we do is not simply storytelling. It is:
- risk assessment
- behavioral coaching
- timeline reconstruction
- forensic-level consistency
- and emotional support
Some of our clients are on the verge of collapse.
They are being watched, pressured, bullied, stalked, abused.
Others simply want to live a more self-directed, judgment-free life.
Many are navigating double lives — and not for malicious reasons:
- LGBTQ+ individuals in conservative environments
- women escaping arranged marriages
- medical patients hiding a diagnosis from employers
- public figures who need to vanish for a few days
- or people who need to meet a child they are not allowed to mention
“What we offer is not deception.
It’s dignity — wrapped in safety, wrapped in silence.”

Training and Oversight: Inside the Alibi Network
Our strength lies in what we call the Alibi Network — a growing global circle of reliable collaborators, partner companies, and freelancers. Many of them first came to us as clients and later became part of the system they once relied on.
Our Freedom Managers are carefully selected and trained in:
- understanding sensitive life situations
- crafting realistic, plausible scenarios
- handling client requests with discretion and empathy
- navigating local legal and logistical requirements
We also work with a wide range of professionals — actors, drivers, concierge services, designers, call agents — who all follow clear guidelines on confidentiality and professionalism.
While we don’t overcomplicate things with bureaucracy, every person involved in an alibi knows exactly what to do — and what not to ask.
Thanks to this trust-based approach, we’ve successfully created more than 35,000 custom alibis in over 40 countries — all without a single confirmed case of exposure.
